When I first spoke with Marnie Schneider, I was impressed and amazed with her infectious energy and charisma, especially as it related to her Keep On Playing Foundation. We were both involved in the Standing O book project, and I found that I shared her strong interest in helping underprivileged kids get involved in playing baseball, and giving them a sense of pride while keeping them in a positive environment.
